   Hello,   
      
   Very new to BBBS but not to running BBSes.  Question about outbound Internet    
   e-mail.  I find no reference in the manual to whether BBBS is able to   
   directly  connect to a mail server for delivery without the use of a   
   smarthost?  If not,  are there any mail authentication options available?  All   
   mail hosts these  days allow mail relaying without some kind of    
   uthentication, and I don't have  IP whitelisting available to me.  I suppose   
   another option would be to run a  local postfix server that has the sole   
   purpose of delivering email exported  from BBBS?  I guess I would have to put   
   it on a port other than 25 since BBBS  is listening on that port for incoming   
   mail?   
      
   Also, is there anything available to capture e-mail addresses for new telnet    
   and/or http users and perform verification of that e-mail address in order to    
   validate the user?  Looks like the only utility I see to do that is designed    
   to run with BBBS and Windows.      
      
   Thanks,   
   Chris
